# Configuring a Reverse Proxy

> Route custom domains or CraftLands subdomains to your server using our built-in reverse proxy—covering DNS records, proxy creation, and allocation selection.

## How to Configure a Reverse Proxy

1. **Open Network Settings**
   * In the left menu, click **Network**.

2. **Configure DNS Records**
   * **Custom Domain:**
     1. Copy your server’s IP address.
     2. In your DNS provider, create an **A record**:
        * **Name:** the prefix you want (e.g., `map`)
        * **Value:** your server IP
   * **CraftLands Subdomain:**
     1. Under **Subdomain**, select your main domain (e.g., `fastserver`).
     2. In the **Subdomain** field, enter the prefix you want (e.g., `map`).

3. **Create the Proxy**
   * In the **Network** menu, click **Reverse Proxy**.
   * Click **Create Proxy**.

4. **Set Proxy Details**
   * **Proxy Domain:**
     * Enter the full domain you just configured (e.g., `map.example.com` or `map.fastserver.host`).
   * **Allocation:**
     * Select the allocation running your site (for example, the port used by Dynmap).

5. **Save and Apply**
   * Click **Create** (or **Save**) to finalize your proxy.
   * Restart or start your server to activate the reverse proxy.
